1st 4 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Improved for a step up in trip and then cheekpieces, getting off the mark at Southwell (1m6f) last month and following up at Ripon on Sunday (2m, good); escapes a penalty for that win and today's further rise in distance could spark additional progress; possible he could do with the ground drying out a bit but he's on the up and should make a bold bid to complete his hat-trick. |
2/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up in four of his first five handicaps before finally cracking it in a four-runner race at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; that was in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but by just a nose, leading on the post; stays 2m and he's a player if transferring this year's improvement back to turf. |

1st 2 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
0-9, but runner-up in four of his five handicaps including narrow defeats over 1m6f/16.5f here in both starts since returning in January; a player again with cheekpieces given a go. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Newcastle (1m4f) in April and backed it up with a solid third of five in 1m6f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; in the mix once more. |
5/2 |

3rd 1 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
4yo who has finished out of the first two only once in eight handicap starts, gaining compensation for a pair of near-misses this year when well on top over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle 12 days ago; just as effective at 1m6f and on turf; the one to beat. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4yo who has form figures of 1221522 in handicaps and he's been beaten a short head and a nose in his two runs (1m4f/1m6f) this year; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back in trip; major player. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Possible front-runner; high marks for consistency this year and managed a win at Newcastle in March; Toby Moore got a good tune out of him here the following month; sound claims. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
In good form since returning from seven months off in January including a win over C&D last month and close third at Southwell (1m6f) 13 days ago; ties in with Analogical on that latest form and he's respected back in trip. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seven-race maiden who finished runner-up in two of his six starts on turf in Ireland last summer (both over this trip), but failed to beat a rival on stable debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; something to prove. |
13/2 |

10th 6 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Second at Killarney (1m6f) last summer in two of three Irish handicaps for John Joseph Murphy, trying cheekpieces when short-headed on latest outing (good); off 210 days but this lightly raced AW newcomer needs a second look. |
9/1 |

4 (12) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 11lb |
Maiden ran well to chase home a clear winner over C&D on last month's handicap debut (soft) but ran no sort of race at Galway 15 days later on similar ground; cheekpieces now tried. |
